FA-LESS BOWMAN GUIDE

by: Hilgers08



What is FA-LESS and why should I choose it?

FA - Final Attack
There are a few reasons for not choosing FA which are its inability to work with third job skills and its delay/unreliable fire.

This build is rather unique and will seem harder than then others but it's just based on your perspective or what you train on.

While you will of course use more pots because of this build, it later levels when you don't have to cast Soul Arrow, Bow Booster, or Focus as much you will benefit.

Also, with max focus I believe that you gain three regualar levels worth of avoidability which will save you on potions because of the higher chance of a monster missing.



====================
AP Distribution
====================

Str: X
Dex: X
Int: 4
Luck: 4

I would try for this distribution but if you get tired of rolling then you can replace ONE of the 4's in the luck or int with a 5.

NEVER PUT ANY AP POINTS INTO INT OR LUCK!!!!

====================
[Level 1-10]
====================

When leveling from 1-10 it will help you out most if you raise your strength to 15 before increasing your dexterity at all. You will be using your starting weapon until then which bases its damage off of strength.

After your strength is 15, DO NOT put anymore points into strength until level 15.

You will need at least 25 dex for the job advancement at level 10 which will be easily exceeded if you follow the guide.

====================
[Level 10- 40]
====================

Each level add ALL 5 ap points into dex unless you are a level divisible by 5. (IE: 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40)

If you are one of the levels listed above put ALL 5 ap points into str.

This distribution will maximize your damage by having the most dex possible for your level.

====================
[Level 40+]
====================

Each level add ALL 5 ap points into dex unless you are one level below a number divisible by 10. (IE: 49, 59, 69 )

For BOTH the level before and the level divisible by 10 put ALL 5 ap points into str.

This distribution again will maximize your damage by having the most dex possible for your level.

====================
[AP Levels]
====================

Lv.10 - STR 15, DEX 4(6/7)

Lv.15 - STR 20, DEX 6(6/7)

Lv.20 - STR 25, DEX 8(6/7)

Lv.25 - STR 30, DEX 10(6/7)

Lv.30 - STR 35, DEX 12(6/7)

Lv.35 - STR 40, DEX 14(6/7)

Lv.40 - STR 45, DEX 16(6/7)

Lv.45 - STR 50, DEX 18(6/7)

Lv.50 - STR 55, DEX 20(6/7)

Lv.55 - STR 60, DEX 22(6/7)

Lv.60 - STR 65, DEX 24(6/7)

Lv.65 - STR 70, DEX 26(6/7)

Lv.70 - STR 75, DEX 28(6/7)


FYI: The only reason you add str is to keep up with your armor and bow requirements. http://www.onrpg.com/boards/253.html
